Key Factors Affecting UPS Runtime

Let's break down what really impacts your UPS remaining power:

• Battery capacity: The actual energy storage (measured in Ah)
• Load percentage: How much power your equipment draws
• Battery age: Capacity decreases by 20-30% after 3-5 years

Load Percentage	Runtime (Minutes)	Battery Health
50%	45	Excellent
75%	28	Good
100%	15	Fair

FAQ

How often should I check my UPS battery?

We recommend quarterly inspections and annual professional maintenance.

Can I mix old and new batteries in a UPS?

This is not advised - mismatched batteries reduce overall system efficiency by up to 25%.

What's the typical lifespan of a UPS battery?

Most lead-acid batteries last 3-5 years, while lithium-ion versions can last 8-10 years.

How does temperature affect remaining power?

Every 10°C above 25°C cuts battery life by 50% - proper cooling is essential.
